USMNT get their post-Gregg Berhalter life underway in competitive action against Grenada on Saturday morning. The game, crucial to CONCACAF Nations League progression and Gold Cup qualification, perhaps signals the start of a new journey.
Under the stewardship of interim boss Anthony Hudson, the next World Cup is America's - alongside Canada and Mexico. It is the big goal at the end of the road for this talented group of young players to work towards. Permanent head coach or not, the road starts here.
In the reverse fixture, USA won 5-0 and will be looking to go to the top of their group, overtaking El Salvador in first place. They then face off against the North American side later in the week to decide the final standings.
